Excellent company - We booked direct through the office for the following day. However on the morning of the flight we could see the clouds coming down from our hotel, then we received an email stating because of the weather our flight was cancelled, we were offered an alternative to Shackleton Glacier and Ice Lake, rebook for the next day or a cancellation. We chose the alternative flight We were all weighed and our seats allocated accordingly. We had a good flight with Mike, our pilot who took photos for us on the snow, however we didn't have long on the snow landing before the cloud started to descend and we took off back to base Glacier Country helicopters certainly have safety as a top priority and I would certainly recommend them. We even received a refund for our time lost on the snow landing

unforgettable, dazzling, experience, great people - Our initial tour of FJ Glacier was rescheduled 4 hrs earlier due to rough weather. Communication via text was excellent and timely, we were able to adjust and get there in time. Thanks to good organization and top-notch staff, owner/pilot Gus Grant and crew were able to sneak a safe flight into the Shackleton Glacier when Franz Joseph was socked in. It is worth the time effort and money it takes to get there; these people will get you to this amazing place safely if weather permits, and the spectacle is unforgettable. Highly recommend the experience and these people to arrange it with. Barclay Crane
